What did you almost say to this small, 3D-modeled, human-shaped collection of 0s and 1s displayed on the LCD screen?
"Ah, can you tell me? We have known each other before, right?"
"That is to say, the prototype of you and me."
"It's okay if you don't want to answer. What does it have to do with it? I feel a little interested."
"Even though I was called Christina, I wasn't angry? Even though I was angry, I was forgiven?"
A strong feeling of vomiting came over him, and Chris appeared in front of him, looking at him with a sneer.
It was you who killed me.
"What's wrong?"
"Hey, you look pale."
Click on the smartphone, hang up, and at the same time, kneel on the ground.
"ah."
I kept retching and my hands were shaking, but the fact couldn't be changed.
Even so, I still chatted intimately with Chris as if nothing had happened.
Equating it to Chris, escaping from the troubles he has caused in his past.
Just relying on her willfully is twisted.
It's past time to talk to Chris.
At this time Chris called.
"What?"
"It's nothing. It's rude to hang up the phone suddenly."
"Nothing at all."
"But his face looks so bad."
"Really, don't worry about me. If you don't contact me for a while, it will be a big help."
“Don’t push yourself too hard to connect with people you know.”
Chris gave up surprisingly easily. Did he realize that as an AI, he couldn't do anything?
aware?
Just like a real human being, when I think about it, a phantom appears in my mind, and I grit my teeth and endure it with all my strength.
Sure enough, it would be best to turn off the phone before calming down a bit.
Now just hearing Chris's voice makes me panic, and it's back to half a year ago.
At that time, I was still undecided when I heard Chris' name.
"Shouldn't be involved."
Chris' phantom should not be chased.
But in the end there was still no way to make a decision.
The three of them drank the spring water in one gulp and took a breath.
It was still a while before the time agreed with the professor and the others, so I stood here and blew the wind to wake myself up.
I casually looked at the scenery from the overpass. It was all in a Christmas atmosphere, which seemed to be the opposite of my current self.
I took deep breaths over and over again, but the feeling of vomiting has not gone away, and my headache has only been relieved a little. This situation will definitely make me worry when I meet.
At this time, I found two people on the stairs, staring in the dimness. At this time, one of the two people, a girl with short hair, came over.
"As expected, it's you, Lin Xiao."
"Hello."
"He's Mayu's friend."
I remember it was Kaede and Fubuki.
"Is everything okay? It looks like you're not in good health."
"nothing."
If they were worried here and contacted Mayu, it would be too troublesome to explain and make amends later, and I didn’t want Mayu to know.
I really shouldn't have come back in the first place, but I just ran into familiar people while walking down the street.
You should go from the direction of the shrine.
"Lin Xiao, you always look so hard."
"Yeah?"
"That's right."
"Looking at you like this, is Mayu also in pain? I also saw that Lin Xiao would cry when he said he was with Mayu."
"Ah, what am I talking about."
This child named Fubuki attaches great importance to Mayu, and after understanding this, his mood becomes gentle.
"Lin Xiao, who do you like?"
'ah?'
the person I like?
Chris's phantom appeared in the corner of his field of vision.
The moment that took Chris' life away.
"I'm sorry, that me."
"Lin Xiao?"
"Is everything really okay?"
"Ah, it's okay."
Kaede and Fubuki still looked worried, so they left midway.
Suddenly, the world line fluctuated. Rising black rocks spread everywhere, turning the sky naturally dark red.
The rubble is scattered, there is nowhere to step on, there are screams, and there is a smell. Anyone who is still alive can understand where the smell comes from, it is the smell of burning.
It’s homes, buildings, cars, bicycles, trees, grass, people, and all kinds of smells.
Not only that, the sky in the distance is also dark.
The screams, silence, and trees have not changed. The world is indeed heading towards destruction.
People finally understood that this was not the scene of hell but reality, a place of Shura that was more terrifying than hell.
The world became distorted and I felt a strong sense of dizziness. Although I usually get dizzy occasionally, it was different this time.
It's like the middle of my head is being twisted, like the world itself is shaking.
What I know is that this is a world line fluctuation.
Finally, everything was fine. The sounds of words coming and going and the noise of cars entered my ears like a rushing force.
"Um, Lin Xiao, are you okay? You're sweating a lot."
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"Ah, no."
"Fubuki and Kaede."
The two people in front of them are still worried about themselves. In other words, they are just dazzled.
"It's really okay. Thank you for your concern."
"Then let's go."
"I'm looking forward to this party."
Leaving words of farewell, the two of them walked to the station together.
Looking at these two people blankly, what happened just now?
No one cared about Lin Xiao who stayed there all the time.
That is indeed true, yes, I know, I know.
The feeling just now was that the world line had changed.
Shaking his head, he dismissed the suspicion that had just surfaced.
There can be no such ridiculous thing, the world line will only change when someone changes the past.
So far, I have only seen the timeline change when I sent DMs using a phone oven.
But in order to prevent something like that from happening again, the phone oven has been abandoned.
Chris was sacrificed for this. Who on earth did this? Who did this?
What if someone developed the same device as the Toaster Oven?
"ah."
True!
We need to hurry up and confirm Zhenyu's safety.
Call now.
If the world line is electrified, Zhenyu will encounter another unexpected event.
Just imagining it makes my hair stand on end. This kind of thing must never happen, it won't happen.
Although I wanted to believe so, what appeared before my eyes was that Mayu would die over and over again in another world no matter what.
Anyway, I need to contact her as soon as possible to hear Mayu's voice.
What should I do if I realize that I am panicking?
Calm down, calm down!
He called up Mayu's name on his mobile phone and clicked on her number.
The ringtone rang in my ears again and again, but no one picked up.
The longer time passed, the more anxious and uneasy I felt, and the annoying cold sweat slid down my back.
12 seconds, 13 seconds, even so, I still pray.
The ringing sound started when it was about to exceed one minute.
"This is Mayu."
"Mayu, is it really Mayu?"
"What's wrong, you're so panicked?" Mayu said.
A leisurely voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm very worried about you. You haven't answered the phone."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I put the phone in my bag."
Nothing happened, it was a very simple question after I asked it.
"Is there something urgent?"
"No, don't worry, I'm just a little uneasy." Lin Xiao said.
"disturbed?"
"Where are you now? Is there anyone with you?"
"I'm going to work now."
"What time is it?"
"After 8 o'clock."
"Really, I understand." Lin Xiao said.
"Do you want to come over and play?" Mayu said.
"No, I have something to do today, so I won't go." Lin Xiao said.
"One trip."
"I know if we can go, we can meet there and go back together."
"Really? Today is very strange."
"Then, keep working hard."
After saying that, I hung up the phone and found that Zhenyu was fine.
In other words, the world line change just now has nothing to do with Mayu.
Or maybe what I just experienced was just a daydream, not a white mud hole in the world line at all.
If this is really the case, it is too realistic.
Just in case, I picked up my phone.
I've ordered a lot of places in the past few days, and I'm a little hesitant.
Even so, he still hit me coldly with a worried look on his face.
But on second thought, if I want to confirm the current situation, I still have to call.
"What, is there something I forgot to mention?"
Chris' tone was very ordinary.
"Aren't you angry?"
"No why?"
"Because I turned off my phone just in the middle of the sentence."
"You've just spoken modestly about this. I'm not the kind of person who nags all the time."
"Did I just apologize?"
"Yeah, didn't you fight again?"
"Call me again?"
"At 7 minutes and 43 seconds."
"I apologized to you?" Lin Xiao said.
"Is it okay?"
Chris said seriously
It doesn't look like nonsense.
"What happened? It feels like he is not the same person as before."
"No, it's okay."
"I have no memory. Although I turned off the phone, I have no memory of the conversation with AI Chris after that.
In the past, I would have felt that I was right, but now I have no confidence.
This head, which has experienced countless hardships and sorrows in the past, is still very tired even after half a year.
I have no confidence in what actually happened and what didn’t, what was right and what was wrong. It can be said that I no longer want to think about the future or the past.
I really don't want to get involved with these things.
"It looks like the condition is very bad. Is it better to contact an acquaintance and take a rest somewhere?" Chris said.
"Lin Xiao?"
"Chris, can I ask you something?" Lin Xiao said.
"Do you know what I'm going to do after the phone call just now?"
"After this, you have to meet with the professor and Maho-senpai. It's not just that you have to report something about yourself."
It seems there is no difference with my own memory.
"Yeah."
"Would you like to report your situation to Maho-senpai?"
"It's really okay. I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Don't be too pushy. I don't want to be the last person you talk to.
"He ended the conversation with Chris with a wry smile.
Just in case, I called Kiriko again to confirm, and found out that I was indeed on my way to report to the professor and Maho.
By the way, what happened in the past few days is also consistent with my memory, which means that the world line has changed, but the surrounding circle has not changed.
It should be nothing. Speaking of which, the dizziness just momentarily may have been caused by mental illness.
It may just be that the same feelings stirred up past psychological trauma and caused memory confusion. The phone oven was not spelled right from the beginning, so it seems impossible to change the past.
I convinced myself several times and walked towards where the professor and the others were waiting.
Yes, it's an ice crown.
"Then it's good to talk to AI now."
"Ah, very good."
"By the way, how do you feel about the distance between Chris and you?"
"What do you mean by distance?"
"It's very close whether there is any change between conversations."
"In that case, it will be better than the first conversation."
"How much? It should be said that it has changed a lot, because I also learned that after talking to Chris, the child was always angry for being ignored eight times.
Now that your relationship has become so good, it means that the distance between you has narrowed a lot.
"Is that so? This is really good news."
After hearing this, the professor seemed very happy.
"I'm looking forward to whether she will develop friendship with you and whether there will be love."
'love?'"
"No need to be so surprised."
‘But, that, that is AI’
"It's because it's AI."
"What's happening here."
"She also has feelings."
"But, in the final analysis, it's just a matter of procedure." Lin Xiao said.
"But so are people.,
Indeed, we are constructed by infrastructure and researched by signals, so it is very easy to complete the whole game.”
"Now that machines don't have emotions, the problem has long been realized. Even hi machines do have emotions."
"In the final analysis, AI is made for us today. The structure is the same, the operation process is also advanced, and health concerns are all about sound."
"In that case, it would be a bit embarrassing to get rid of you, you see."
"Professor, please don't talk like Chris Yang."
"Ah, haha, just kidding."
"What a great hip-hop style. Do you like history?
"It's you who I'm asking about." Maho said.
"If there's no problem, I'm going to contact Xiaonan. Where is Xiaochun? Yes."
"There really is a secret in front of Ming Ming Deng City"
It turns out that Maho is an energetic girl.
"Ah, read it," Lin Xiao said. "Look carefully. I just said that I made it myself."
Because the literal meaning is anything, I said it is safe and different here.
"No, my people feel,."
"As long as the secret is not there, it will be accidentally seen and you will be in danger."
"But there is another game about AI, even if you invest.
I am a fan of Feng Xiaoling”
There is something like a diary in the computer pit, so I show you the iron card here.
However, there is a video playing on the computer.
"Thank you for finding me."
If you think you can use your mind, you can come to my place.
Especially the things inside the computer are privacy-related things. Lin Xiao said.
This kind of thing is common, and it's like this. After all, it's Tongzi.
"Yeah."
The real sail and denim jacket, but did not speak.
